Niu Jinxing pondered for a moment, and then said: "Since the strength of Runing Mansion is empty at this time, our army can go forward to attack, first, we can use the war to temper the soldiers and horses, eliminate the old and weak, and second, we can also make a name for ourselves and erect a banner. ”

"Okay, since Mr. also thinks that we can fight, then we will go and take the Runing Mansion City!"

Li Zicheng made up his mind, and immediately ordered his men and horses to set off and head towards the city of Runing Mansion.

In order to take advantage of Lu Xiangsheng's absence and take Runing Mansion City in one fell swoop, Li Zicheng also ordered the two troops of Ma Weixing and He Zhen to come and join him.

Li Zicheng's order fell like a mountain, and suddenly, all the troops of the Li army began to assemble, and the entire army of 50,000 was slaughtered towards the city of Runing.

By the time Li Zicheng's 50,000 troops arrived at the city of Runing Mansion, the city of Runing Mansion had already received the news at this time, and at this time the four gates were closed and the whole city was under martial law.

"Listen to the people in the city, King Chuang's 100,000 army has surrounded you, and you have no way out, so you should surrender quickly, King Chuang said, as long as you surrender, you will not only avoid death, but you can also be promoted to a higher level, and you will be rewarded. If you dare not surrender, when the city is broken tomorrow, you chickens and dogs will not be left! ”

At this time, it was already dusk, and it was naturally impossible to attack the city, so Li Zicheng sent people to persuade him to surrender, hoping to disturb the morale of the soldiers defending the city in the city, and when he attacked the city tomorrow, it would be easier.

"Humph!"

At the head of the city, a person with a white face and a thin body, but with a very heavy momentum, listened to the shouts of Li Zicheng Luo Luo under the city, and snorted with disdain,

"This is the prestigious Li Zicheng? That's it, this time, our family will call him to come and go! ”

Yes, this person is the famous Cao Huachun Cao Gonggong!

This time, Cao Huachun and Lu Xiangsheng set up this strategy to lure the snake out of the hole to lure Li Zicheng to come and seize the city, who knew that Li Zicheng was coming, which really made Cao Huachun proud, but also a little surprised,

Sometimes the opponent is not strong enough, and that is also a kind of loneliness!

"Gonggong Cao, the last general petitions to lead the troops out of the city and kill the Li thief under the horse!"

"The last general is willing to go!" "The last general is willing to go!"

Seeing that Li Zicheng was coming, the three fierce generals of the Yongwei Battalion, Sun Yingyuan, Huang Degong, and Zhou Yuji, all asked Cao Huachun to send troops one after another.

The Yongwei Battalion was formed by Emperor Chongzhen today, every penny of money, every penny of grain, grass and equipment is the account of Emperor Chongzhen, the importance of the Son of Heaven, in the entire great tomorrow at this time, that can not pick out the second.

Therefore, every soldier of the Yongwei Battalion has a strong sense of honor, no matter who the enemy is, they all dare to fight, even if they meet a Tartar, it is also an order, and they regard death as home.

And among these people, Sun Yingyuan, Huang Degong, and Zhou Yuji are the most prominent, and when they saw Li Zicheng coming, they already had itchy hands!

"Hehehe,,,"

Cao Huachun saw the three of them asking for their lives, he smiled, his voice was mixed with a little femininity, this is no way, after all, he is a eunuch, it is a little different, this is also the normal condition of the body.

"The three generals don't need to be anxious, our family has already agreed with Inspector Lu on a strategy to break the enemy, you just need to be ready to standby."

Seeing this, the three of them didn't want to say more, and they all stood aside.

Then Cao Huachun said to Zhao Zhongyang, the prefect of Runing: "Lord Zhao, you send a messenger to the thief camp at night and tell them that you are willing to surrender, but a few generals in the city are unwilling, please wait for a day or two, and when you find a way to get rid of those generals, you can open the city gate and surrender." ”

When Zhao Zhongyang heard this, he knew that it was a plan, so he naturally accepted the order happily.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Zhongyang's envoy came, and the envoy saw Li Zicheng and told Zhao Zhongyang what he meant.

When Li Zicheng heard this, he laughed and was very happy, and said to the messenger: "You go back and tell Lord Zhao, just say that I am willing to wait for him for a few days, and when the time comes, I, Li Zicheng, will enter the city, and thirty percent of the goods in the city will be regarded as my reward for him!" ”

Seeing this, Niu Jinxing on the side was anxious and wanted to dissuade him, but he was stopped by Li Zicheng.

"The little one thanked King Chuang on behalf of my master."

After the messenger left, Li Zicheng snorted on the ground and said, "Damn, I'm playing a procrastination trick with Lao Tzu, I really can't do it when Lao Tzu is a three-year-old child!" ”

Niu Jinxing on the side listened, this is to know that Li Zicheng did not easily believe Zhao Zhongyang's words, and he was also a lot more relieved.

"King Chuang, I don't know how King Chuang wants to attack the city?"

"Then Zhao Zhongyang wants to drag me down, wait for that Lu Xiangsheng to come to the rescue, where is my Li Zicheng so easy to fool, I just said that I will wait for him for a few days, he will definitely relax his vigilance in these days, and then our army can take the opportunity to attack the city and catch him off guard!"

"Chuang Wang Yingming!"

Niu Venus wasted no time in sending a sycophant.

However, Li Zicheng also knew that Lu Xiangsheng was a variable, although he was full of confidence in taking Runing Mansion this time, but Lu Xiangsheng also had to guard against it, so he ordered Tanma to closely monitor Lu Xiangsheng's movements, and if there was a slight mistake on Lu Xiangsheng's side, he would report it immediately.

Everything was arranged, the night was late, and Li Zicheng was resting.

It's three o'clock in the morning, about two o'clock in the morning, and people at this time sleep the deadest.

At this moment, I saw that the gate of Runing Mansion was quietly opened, and from inside, teams of people and horses came out of it.

When they went out of the city gate, they quietly marched towards Li Zicheng's camp in the dark night, through the faint night light.

The ancients did not suffer from night blindness because of malnutrition, but the soldiers of the Yongwei battalion did not.

In order to cope with the battle under various conditions, Emperor Chongzhen treated them very well, it can really be described as good food, good drink and good hospitality, this nutrition is naturally not comparable to ordinary people, so night blindness is not in the Yongwei Battalion.

When the soldiers of the Yongwei battalion walked to a place less than a stone's throw away from Li Zicheng's camp, they saw Sun Yingyuan and Huang Degong looking at each other, and then the two jumped on their horses together and shouted loudly: "The soldiers of the Yongwei battalion, for the emperor and for the Ming Dynasty, kill the enemy!" ”

These two roars instantly tore apart the dark night sky, and all the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion were shocked, and they all got on their horses and drew their swords, shouting in unison: "For the emperor, for the Ming Dynasty, kill the enemy!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers of the 5,000 Yongwei Battalion rushed towards Li Zicheng's camp under the leadership of Sun Yingyuan and Huang Degong.
